Hi, Pardon me if I'm sending my request to the wrong place, I'm very interested in the Web MIDI API and I have a couple of questions to ask. Don't hesitate to redirect to the right forum if I'm mistaken. I've been creating software for some time now, and I'm considering writing software using Web MIDI. I'm a little concerned about two things though. First, the latest Web MIDI API Recommendation that can be found on the W3C web site is a Working Draft from March 2015. If I'm about to invest my time and energy in creating software based on Web MIDI, I need to be reassured that this Recommendation is going to live on, and to be supported by the browser editors. How are things going? Secondly, I have some concerns about performance, reliability (timing accuracy), latency. I know this is not linked to the W3C of course, but I was wondering if you'd have any pointer for me toward documentation, reports, or people having played quite a bit with Web MIDI implementations, in order to assess that Web MIDI can be used to implement musical softwares aimed to professional musicians / instrumentalists, including those performing live. I'd appreciate any input you could provide to me about these two concerns. Cheers, Renaud
